Your McDonald's meal is about to change forever, it has been revealed, as the fast food giant looks to shake up its menu.

The American restaurant chain, which operates numerous eateries across Coventry and throughout Warwickshire, will soon make changes to its most popular menu items as it looks to shun artificial ingredients.

The changes include eliminating artificial preservatives from its chicken nuggets and some breakfast food items and replacing high-fructose corn syrup in its buns for butter.

Bosses at the global franchise have confirmed your Big Mac buns - as well as the buns for your Quarter Pounders with Cheese, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, Filet-O-Fish and McChicken sandwiches - are set to be affected.

Business Insider UK reports the decision to make the alterations will sit alongside McDonald's decision to use only antibiotic-free chicken last year.

McDonald's USA president Mike Andres says using ingredients like artificial preservatives and high-fructose corn syrup has good reasoning behind them — but consumers disliked them.

The Mirror reports that Mr Andres told the New York Times: "Why take a position to defend them if consumers are saying they don’t want them?"

Reports suggest the changes will take about six months to be implemented - so your food won't be any different for the time being.

Mr Andres said yesterday he hoped talking more openly about the foods used will change consumer attitudes toward McDonald’s.
